Description
This is the single-trunk version of the Jane Magnolia, a member of the “Little Girl” group of spring-blooming hybrid Magnolias developed at the U.S. National Arboretum. It is a small tree that can grow up to 15 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide, producing an abundance of stunning, fragrant flowers, which are perched upright on the tips of every stem before the leaves emerge in the spring. The large, tulip-shaped flowers have 7 to 9 petals with reddish-purple exteriors and white interiors. Jane blooms a bit later than many other Japanese magnolia varieties, making it a great choice where late frosts are common. Depending on the weather and location, flower buds begin to open in March or April, with sporadic reblooming through the summer. The large, elongated leaves are dark green and have a somewhat leathery appearance, which contrasts nicely with other landscape plants that have finer foliage. Jane Magnolia is one of those flowering trees that will always have you looking forward to spring!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing up to 15 feet tall and wide, the Jane Magnolia is ideal for use as a focal point specimen in sunny landscapes and woodland borders or to frame the corners of homes and other structures and entrances. It can also be grown in large pots and planters. It is a fine addition purple theme gardens, fragrance gardens, cut flower gardens, and cottage gardens.
Growing Preferences
Jane Magnolia is easy to grow in most moist, well-drained, acidic soil of average fertility, and in full sun to part shade. Five or more hours of sunlight daily is suggested. In the South, some shade during the hottest mid-afternoon hours of summer will be appreciated. Avoid constantly soggy or wet soils. In alkaline soils, apply sulfur to the soil or chelated iron to increase acidity. Pruning usually isn’t necessary, however stray or damaged branches can be pruned immediately after flowering in spring. Feed after flowering in spring with a mild organic plant food or a well-balanced shrub and tree food containing iron or sulfur.
